Last week on style perspectives 14 different bloggers showed how they style wraps or kimonos or ponchos or whatever works as outerwear for their climate. I loved seeing the variety...also loved seeing the other participants on Instagram. Showcase your look with #theblendedblogstyle ! Also make sure you enter our giveaway this week!
This week we're rocking the shades of pink...which had me concerned because I don't have any pink in my closet, until I dove deeper into the confines of my chamber and remembered that rose is basically the same as pink and burgundy is really just a darker shade of rose. SO in the end, I ended up putting together a shades of rose outfit with a white blazer and cognac boots.
Someone also needs to remind me next week when we're doing our "white pants look" to not take pictures with snow in the background. Trops bonhomme de neige pour moi. Also- I should probably find my white pants. ANYWAY....
You know what also is a rose ? My hair. Yup, rose gold ombré, which is basically pink so I win.

Also pink? The Michael Kors watch my kids got me for Valentine's Day.

So in the end, I had more pink than I thought I did. The blazer I'm wearing is from Simons and comes in a soft pink too, which is what I originally wanted. I love the white one so much (the cut is awesome and the material is super stretchy and comfy) that I may get the pink one too. Ultrasoft waffle-knit blazer from Simons. (Go figure, what isn't from Simons in my wardrobe)
(Actually the pants and shirt aren't. The blush top is from Joe Fresh @ Superstore and the pants are Buffalo from Costco)
14 bloggers each picked a look that defined their personal style.

I'm with Lisa. Love the profile shot. Who took them? Also love your watch. Gorgeous. And the blazer. I am afraid of white, so I will have to think on that one.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous, your blog is gorgeous, YOU are gorgeous. I want all of these clothes. Right now.
ReplyDeletePink in the hair, you totally win :)! Love that rose shade of pink.
ReplyDeleteYou have me at the pink watch for sure. Drooling over your new theme...me still waiting....
ReplyDeleteLoving this new look on the blog...love you in pink more!! Your wintery pics are awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo much to love here. The fresh look of the blog. So clean and minimally pretty. The snow! You look like you are standing/sitting/posed before a winter wonderland. Gorgeous, down to the dusting of flakes on the tips of your boots. That rose-gold ombre is so edgy but chic. And your pink. Beautiful, my beautiful, beautiful friend.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I still have some moving around to do and figuring out..but i'm loving it so far!
ReplyDeleteTotally did it on purpose. ha.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I am rethinking my previous position on the lack of pink!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteHigh fives all around. Happy dance.

ReplyDeleteYou can totally wear white. Because I said so. Also? I took all my pictures, with a tripod and a timer and a remote at the zoo. It is my new fun thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you desert dweller! Funny thing is, is that I don't even notice the snow in the pictures anymore. So used to it and so ready for it to be gone!
ReplyDeleteWhat?? YOu aren't sick of snow yet?? You've had more snow days than we have!
ReplyDeleteLook at all your pink :) Also, you have a ton of snow! It has been pretty darn warm (aka awesome) here so all we have is mud. and more mud. And hooray for the new pretty design!
ReplyDeleteThose frames are super cute on you, doll!

I have a pair of burgundy pants that I love! If I could get away with it I would wear them more than once a week ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this color combo! It's one I've been wanting to try and I have no idea why I still haven't done it! That white blazer is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThese colours are lovely together! Such a crisp, bright look.
